Funny how tech bros keep saying AI will take over my job by 2026โ€ฆ
Meanwhile, my country is considering raising the retirement age to 71.

So which is it?
Do I get replaced, or do I work until my skeleton is eligible for a pension? ๐Ÿ’€

The animations, battles, and Temple of Recollection really surprised me. Sure, the story mode is short (12h for me) and itโ€™s not your usual Dragon Quest โ€” but the critics were way too harsh. I had a lot of fun!

Dreamed Away is now fully translated into Spanish (Spain)! Weโ€™re running final tests this week to polish everything and make sure it feels just right.

Hope youโ€™ll love the Spanish version as much as weโ€™ve loved working on it!

You know, hobbies donโ€™t always have to be useful.

I am enjoying the uselessness of today, and readying my usefulness for tomorrow.

Trying to catch up on some classics lately. I am currently playing Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy X. Loving both stories so far, but manโ€ฆ that encounter rate in FFX is brutal sometimes! ๐Ÿ˜… Still, the journeyโ€™s worth it!

I just built a web app to preview your sprite animations. You can even export the animation as a GIF.

Itโ€™s lightweight, browser-based, and made with pixel artists in mind.

Tell me what you think! Let's make it even better together!

Second day of CSS Day conference. A slide on the main screen shows '09:30 | Chris Coyier' as the current session. Chris Coyier is about to present on stage, while another speaker introduces him. The audience is seated and watching. Logos of sponsors like Google, Algolia, Bloomberg, and Bits & Letters are visible on the screen.
